Microsoft is finally ready to take on the iPad. The company unveiled its new Surface tablet at an event in Los Angeles on Monday. The Surface has a 10.6-inch HD screen and weighs just 1.8 lbs. The device has a fully integrated kickstand. Also available for the Surface is a magnetically connected case, just like the iPad, except this case includes a built-in multitouch keyboard. The device will also come with a pen interface.
